Nikon Af-S Dx Nikkor 35Mm 1:1,8G Lens (52Mm Filterdraad), Single

Inmiddels gebruik ik deze lens dagelijks als standaard lens aan mijn kamera. Door uitstekende autofocus (AF) en hoge lichtgevoeligheid is deze lens te gebruiken in huis zonder extra verlichting voor natuurlijk belichte foto's. Echt aanrader.

Love it! I purchased a body-only D7100 and needed a lens that was decent and still made me feel like I was getting a deal on Black Friday (I'm no moneybags!). This little guy (or gal) was only $196.52 so that worked out great! Arguably, you get a better deal with the body and a zoom like the 18-200mm or the 70-300mm included for $1000-$1200, but I wasn't sure yet how to best approach lens purchases, so I figured I'd start small. The last thing I want is to be a collector of lenses I never use or that cover the same ranges. But I digress.This lens is a treat. It's relatively small, lightweight (thank you, plastics industry!) and doesn't get in the way of a good photo opportunity. I bought a clear filter for this lens (making sure the cap fit snugly on it from reviews! Some don't!!) and found I didn't have to keep popping the cap back on for a shoot (party full of kids). I'm still paranoid about dust and scratches even on a filter, but that's my faulty wiring - not Nikon's or Hoya's!The AF-S designator means this kens has a built-in autofocus motor - essential for camera bodies like the D5x00 or D3x00 that don't have their own. Works like a charm on my D7100 - no issues with a motor in the lens AND the body in case you were wondering.It can be switched to M(anual focus) for the purists, but the most useful setting 90% of the time is M/A - the autofocus mode that also allows you to focus manually at any time that the AF system doesn't quite get it right. It happens with any lens, especially in low light.The f/1.8 means it's a bright one! Good for indoor lighting with the fam, outdoor landscapes at dusk, and even stars if you get far enough away from light pollution! It's also good in regular light, don't get me wrong. I just feel like even when I get other zooms and such, I'll be reaching for fast ones like this in low-light situations.The one catch for me is that indoors, you have to be a certain distance from people for group photos where you want full head-to-toe. You can't just take a picture of the person sitting beside you and expect to catch them giving you the finger and kicking over their beer (for example). You may want something wider for that - 18-55mm? But I knew this going into my purchase, so I simply step back where possible and make do. Again, this for indoor group pictures in a cramped space - outside, it's great for catching street style and candids without getting up in people's faces so much. You can also take wonderful landscapes with any lens, really. This bad boy (or girl) is no exception!If you're not the only one using your camera or budget to shop, make sure the oarties in question agree on its usefulness - this does not zoom! - before spending your hard-earned money. If you're rich, you probably bought a full-frame body and aren't even reading this. Bully for you!I doubt you'd have any regrets with this lens. It can do a lot with very little, and in my case is giving me time to get to know my new camera before I go buying a ton more lenses without thinking. Cheap lenses don't necessarily mean cheap results! And prime/fixed focal length lenses tend to have less compromises than zooms covering absurdly long ranges. Check reviews for details on distortion, aberration, etc if you're picky or get disappointed easily (nothing wrong with that!).Hope you found this helpful and entertaining, in that order.

Nikon 35mm AF-S DX lensOnce upon a time in the days of film ALL film SLR cameras came with a “fast” 50mm lens – usually f1.8 ( or more rarely f1.4) giving the same angle of view as human vision. Wide aperture allowed slower, sharper film and the ability to focus closely and provide shallow “depth of focus” to highlight the subject. Zoom lenses were expensive and less sharp than “prime” or single focal length lenses.Most modern digital (D)SLR’s now come with excellent zooms but only moderate apertures across the zoom range ( except for megabucks f2.8 professional lenses)Whilst the zoom lens gives great flexibility in framing a subject it is easy to become sloppy by not moving to fill the frame with this human vision perspective. This “standard” perspective lens makes you think more about your compositions (but also works well as simple point and shoots)This 35mm (52.5mm equivalent on a DX sensor like my Nikon D3100/D5100 – or modern equivalents) dual type autofocus lens is a total cracker .Very lightweight (yet sturdy) it is nice to get back to a “standard” lens again. Even better, when creating movies (or getting “differential focus on stills), this fast lens allows both a shallow focus and enhances the sensitivity of the camera at full aperture at lower. ISO values (reducing electronic noise).It also covers a full aperture range from f1.8 – f22The f1.8 speed allows many photographs to be taken indoors (or dull outdoors) without flash. - Or video without additional lighting.The standard 18-55mm zoom lens is only f4 at the 35mm DX ( 50mm standard) so there is at least 2 stops gain and a corresponding reduction in shutter speed with this prime lens - i.e. faster shutter speeds can be used and sharper pictures result.The ability to tweak the manual focus whilst still in auto is great as any off centre subject missed by the auto focussing can be rapidly correctedThe lens takes a 52mm diameter filter – either as protection, minor colour correction or effect filters. Relatively cheap close up lenses also seem to work extremely well giving a genuine super macro lens with minimal softness at the edges of the imageNOTE – you could get the cheaper non DX, manual focus f1.8 Nikkor but this will be 75mm equivalent (and possibly of interest as a portrait lens although a 105mm prime lens is usually used for this.)

De acuerdo a muchos blogs y páginas web de fotografía, este es uno de los mejores lentes que se pueden adquirir cuando se desea iniciar en el mundo de la fotografía. Ya en la práctica, es un lente sumamente luminoso por su gran apertura, en situaciones de poca luz no es necesario elevar tanto el ISO, sino aumentar la apertura del lente, de modo que las imágenes que se obtienen son claras y sin el ruido que produce elevar demasiado el ISO. Su distancia mínima de enfoque es de 1 pie, por lo cual es posible usarlo para hacer primeros planos de flores, animales y otros objetos naturales o artificiales, es útil por ejemplo en la fotografía de publicidad de productos. En cuestión de los retratos, al ser un lente fijo, la calidad de imágenes es excelente, el efecto bokeh que le da a las fotografías de retrato es un plus que seguramente será muy valorado ya que un efecto similar se consigue solamente con un 55-300, algo más caro. Por otro lado, usar un lente fijo obliga a quien está aprendiendo fotografía a moverse bastante para encontrar el mejor ángulo, lo cual ayuda mucho cuando se está aprendiendo. Por último, por sus dimensiones, es muy práctico de cargar, yo llevo este lente (35mm), el clásico 18-55, y el 55-300, junto con mi D3400 en la misma maleta de 28 x 14 x 21cm. Dejo un par de fotografías tomadas con este lente.

Bra för sitt pris, enkelt att ta fina bilder i vardagsmiljöer.

Voulant s'entraîner avec objectif fixe pour portrait et prise en faible luminosité c'est un bon achat au vu de son prix.
